| Elections which permit the expression of personal preferences are characterized by high rates of split ticket voting, in contrast to elections in which voters are confronted only with party lists. |
| Studios and theater owners split ticket sales according to complex formulas. |
| As party loyalty among voters has increased, rates of split ticket voting have decreased. |
| The point we must recognize is that both rigid and flexible attitudes can result in straight and split ticket voting. |
| Levels of split ticket voting were relatively high, and party-line voting was lower than it had been in earlier decades. |
| The assumption is readily made, although we just as readily recognize that split ticket voting may well be understated when calculated from gross election data. |
